Groundnut paste, also known as peanut butter (though sometimes less processed than commercial varieties), is a creamy, flavorful ingredient made from ground peanuts. It boasts a rich, nutty flavor with a slightly earthy undertone. Its texture can range from smooth and velvety to slightly coarse, depending on the grinding process. Groundnut paste generally has a light to medium brown color and a thick, spreadable consistency. It's a versatile ingredient offering a boost of protein and healthy fats, often used as a base for sauces, stews, and desserts, adding depth and a distinctive peanut flavor profile to various dishes. Many cooks use groundnut paste to provide a rich, nutty flavor to their cooking.

To maximize the shelf life of groundnut paste, store it in a cool, dark, and dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, refrigerate the paste in an airtight container to prevent oxidation and maintain its flavor. Properly stored, unopened groundnut paste can last for several months past its 'best by' date. If the paste becomes rancid, develops an off odor, or shows signs of mold, discard it.
